Fabric baskets - 4.5" x 4.5" x 4.5". Tutorial from orangeflowerpatterns.blogspot.com but is no longer on the site. Fabric is basically cut to 9.5" x 13.5", with 2" boxes cut. Little gifties were tucked inside before giving these to Matteo, who promptly pretended they were hats and put them on his 8 month old twin brother/sister, LOL.

Red Riding Hood bag set for my sister, "Grammie" - made with Japanese linen. Boxy bag has a RRH charm zipper pull because I am COOL (and found it on Etsy, hehe) :)

I love the idea of giving books and a bag to put them in. I almost always give our little people at least one book each birthday and Christmas. Love the library tote with READ appliqued on, Sandra. My favourite of all these great projects, is the Little Red Riding Hood set.

I really must get some of those book bags ready for gifting. For someone who so often gives kids books as gifts, I don't know how I never thought of the idea of making bags like this. Perfect. (Also perfect: your fabrics. You really do have an eye for color. With your projects, I always see beyond the item to drool over the fabrics, etc. you've used to create them.)

Thanks for visiting! I try to reply to all comments - if you're a No Reply blogger or using Google + I can't get your email address so please leave it (obfuscated somehow) in the message so I can write back (and snoop your blog, lol) - thank you!

Both of our boys (now 29 and 27) have houses nearby, and visit the family grocery store (aka my basement storeroom) on a regular basis :D I regularly accidentally cook extra food for them to take home when they do visit, and keep a shelf stacked with household goods that they might need - they don't complain ;) Empty Nest Syndrome my a$$ - we're loving this!
On the crafty front - I sew. A lot. And shop for sewing. A lot :) And computer - a lot :) Life is fun, so SMILE, and thanks for dropping by :)
